Original subtitles

It's not wise to encourage them, Miss Sarah.

Your father never believe in it.

Oh, Geoffrey, don't be such a fuddy-duddy!

Your father paid me well to be a fuddy-duddy,

and I shall continue to be so

until I get you safely home to London.

What's he saying?

My dear Miss, unless they speak the King's English,

I'm as much at a loss are you are.

The King's English...

is fit for selling pigs...

not for praising the beauty

of such a perfect desert flower.

MAN: El-Aziz.

Leave her alone.

She is under my protection.

Oh, Haboush.

And what is the protection for?

[ speaking arabic ]

[ clink ]

[ speaking arabic ]

[ coins clinking ]

[ speaking arabic ]

Thank you for helping us.

I'm afraid Geoffrey and I

would have been quite lost without you.

The British East India Company did much business here.

Your father was greatly respected, and a good friend to me.

Well, that last fellow was certainly a nuisance.

Sheik Hab El-Aziz is much more than a nuisance.

He's known as El Talab: The Jackal.

He is a slaver.

Pray to God you never meet such a man alone.

Why was he offering you money?

He wanted to buy something that caught his eye.

My father's watch?

No.

You.

He must have been quite taken by you.

He offered an extremely handsome price.

Bloody wonks.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

I didn't mean you, sir.

You must trust no one, Miss Sarah.

The people of the desert look upon the Frenjia,

the foreigners like yourself,

much like the hawk looks upon the sparrow.

Excuse me.

[ chattering ]

David, what happened?

Nothing, mother.

David, it is a sin against God

to look upon such wickedness.

They are heathens, nonbelievers.

They will burn in Hell.

Come with me.

Bashi, I wish only to hire a caravan not to purchase one,

so do not try your thieving tricks on me, my friend.

I must deploy extra guards.

The way to Damascus is most dangerous.

The sun rises is magnificent over Baghead.

It will be sad if you were not around to see the next one.

GEOFFREY: No! No! Watch that trunk!

Careful with that, man.

[ speaking arabic ]

"Dr. Han's Medical Journal"?

It was Sarah's father's.

Lord Scott did not trust any doctor outside of London.

Not without reason, rest his soul.

Bloody cholera.

SARAH: Ha ha!

[ squealing ]

Ha ha ha!

Brrr! Hoo hoo!

Excuse me!

Excuse me, sir.

You. Yes, you, sir. How do you do?

My name is McBride.

The Reverend James McBride from Boston.

My wife Rachel, my son David.

RACHEL: How do you do?

Ahmed Haboush.

This is Miss Scott

and her manservant Geoffrey.

Bashi, we are losing precious time!

I wonder if we might join your private caravan.

We have some money-- not much--

but people of God are not always able to give.

We will be travelling fairly fast.

Perhaps you will be more comfortable

with one of the large merchant caravans.

Sir, we have been trying to get to Damascus for nearly 3 months.

It would be an act of Christian charity.

Oh, yes.

We Muslims have always been very concerned with Christian charity.

GEOFFREY: They won't give us any trouble.

[ speaking arabic ]

Bless this food to our use

that it may nurture us

and give us strength for our journey

and for thy holy work among the heathens...

Bloody camels.

What this country needs is a fine English coach-maker.

Bring 'em into the 19th century.

REVEREND: David!

REVEREND: David, what's keeping you?!

[ owl hooting ]

[ grunt ]

[ shouts ]

[ men yelling ]

[ woman screams ]

Aah!

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord--

Aah!

Aah!

James! James!

[ neigh ]

Ohhh!

Aah!

Aah!

Mother!

Well?

To the water well. Hurry up!

Hyah! Hyah!

Aah!

GEOFFREY: Well done, sir!

Come on, David! Hurry up, let's go!

Come on!

Hurry up! We have no time!

What about the water?

There's a small cave on one side. Hurry up!

Come with us.

Quick. Hold on tight.

Aah!

Ugh!

Hurry!

GEOFFREY: Quickly! Into the well!

[ women screaming ]

El-Aziz,

I delievered them into your hands as agreed.

I demand my payment.

Payment for what?

The girl escaped.

There is little else of value.

You have captured many women, El-Aziz.

They will bring you a good price.

One less will not make you a poor man.

The English girl will not be for sale.

She's for me.

This water is foul!

[ shouts ]

[ splash ]

Perhaps that will improve the water's taste.

[ straining ]

GEOFFREY: Thank you, Miss Sarah.

[ camel grunts ]

DAVID: And we commend these souls to thy keeping,

sure in certain knowledge of the resurrection

and eternal life.

[ whimpers ]

Ashes to ashes,

dust to dust.

Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

Now, now, sir.

Sun's up, Miss.

Time we were on our way.

Where are we?

DAVID: Further than we were yesterday.

Where's the trail?

It's gone, Miss.

What?

We lost it last night.

Look, don't worry, Miss.

We'll head due west.

Should we miss Damascus,

we'll still reach Alexandria.

Alexandria?

That's hundreds of miles from Baghdad.

It could take us months.

What about food and water?

I don't know, Miss.

All I know is we'll die if we don't move.

Then let's go.

And we'll die if we do.

Water!

I found water!

Down here!

This place must be used by the desert people.

We'll have to be careful.

After you.

It's sweet. I already tried it.

Oh, it's warm.

It's also wet. Try it.

Oh, that's good.

Ahh!

That's so good.

Mmm.

Where you going?

To the camel to get a cup, sir.

SARAH: Ha ha ha!

- Ohh! - Hey.

Geoffrey?

Geoffrey?

I do apologize, Miss.

This is quite unforgivable.

No. Shh. Be quiet.

Does it say what to do for him?

No. I can't find anything.

It's all kind of technical.

Ha ha!

You look funny.

So do you.

W-w-we shouldn't be looking at this.

Why not?

Could be a sin.

But they're beautiful.

How could looking at something so beautiful be a sin?

My father told me it was wrong to look upon nakedness.

Well, Adam and Eve were naked.

They were not. They wore leaves.

Big ones.

Ha ha!

How do you know? Were you there?

No, but I've seen lots of pictures in churches

and they always wore leaves.

Hmm. Well...

Anyway, this is, this is different.

This is a book for doctors.

Doctors have to look at you with no clothes on.

The doctors have no clothes on?

Ha ha! No!

You have no clothes on.

The doctor's dressed.

Ohh!

Ha ha ha!

This thing works.

The mighty hunter returns!

Shh!

DAVID: Oh.

How's Geoffrey?

He's still asleep.

Oh.

Did you see anything?

Yup, I sure did.

What?

This.

Oh!

Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, sir.

Oh, just a tough of the sun, lad. Nothing serious.

Bit more of this fresh air, and I'll be right as rain in the morning,

then we should be on our way.

We've a long way to go, you know.

To get to where?

Home, of course.

Miss Sarah has a boat to catch.

And I'm sure you're anxious to get back to...

to your people.

My mother and father were all I had.

Thank you.

[ baa ]

[ baa]

Steady, sir! Steady there now!

The Arabs! They're here!

Where?

About a mile away.

Very well, sir.

Take that beast up to the cave and gather our things...

If you please, sir.

Where you going?

For a closer look.

If they're friendly,

they could help us to get out.

No. No. We can't trust anyone.

I shall be very careful.

Now go. Get packing.

And mind you look after Miss Sarah.

This country's not fit a proper young lady of breeding.

I wonder what's happened to Geoffrey.

I don't know. He should be back by now.

I'm going to look for him.

He may need help.

Wait!

Be sure to come back.

I can't even get on the stupid camel by myself.

I forget the word to make him kneel.

No, it's easy--

No. No, don't tell me now.

Just show me later, all right?

Yeah.

Your mighty hunter shall return.

[ shouting ]

[ speaking arabic ]

[ squawking ]

[ grunt ]

[ horse neighs ]

The girl cannot be far away.

Lying English! [ spits ]

Who would believe he would send us on a false trail?

Indeed.

He died more bravely than I thought.

Sarah!

The camel! We gotta get out here!

Well, what happened? Where's Geoffrey?

The Jackal killed him! They did awful things to him!

God, let's get out of here before he finds us!

They've...

they've killed him?

Oh... no.

Sarah, we gotta get out of here.

[ sighs ]

What does it matter?

We just can't give up.

We can't.

We'll never get home, will we?

SARAH: What's the matter?

I don't know. I can't get him to move.

Here. Hold this.

Well, that's it then. We've had it.

We can't walk out. We're dead!

[ hits ground ] Unh!

SARAH: Where are you going?

What's the difference?

Come on.

[ neighing ]

David?

Help! David, the camel!

David!

David! Help!

Sarah!

Sarah, wait for me.

SARAH: But I can't stop the camel!

Where are you?

Sarah?

[ laughs ]

Got a reservation?

Whooo!

Ha ha ha.

DAVID: I don't believe it. I don't believe it!

[ Sarah laughs ]

Look good, looks good. Hurry up.

I'm going to be in first.

No, you won't. I'm going to be in first.

You're slow.

You want to make a bet?

Uh-oh.

I'm too slow?

Yeah, I'm going in first.

No, you're going in last.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

I'm going in without you, if you don't hurry up.

Come on. Come on.

- Ready? - Yeah.

Set!

Go!

Aah!

Aah!

DAVID: I'm not moving until at least...

forever.

[ laughs ]

Mmm. It's so quiet.

Sometimes it feels like we're the only 2 people left in the world.

Our very own paradise.

That's what it's called in the Bible.

SARAH: Paradise.

I like that.

I wonder what the first house looked like.

Sarah?

Sarah, is that you?

Sarah?

Where did that come from?

I made it.

You make it?

It's great. I-- didn't know you could make things.

Well, you made this house.

I didn't know you could make things either.

Try it.

It's beautiful.

Really beautiful.

[ clanking ]

David, what was that?

I don't know.

Stay here.

Well, wait. Maybe it'll go away.

Maybe it won't.

[ clanking ]

DAVID: All right. Hold it right there, buster.

Sarah, come here quick.

Look.

SARAH: Aw, it's a dinner guest.

DAVID: Think he's friendly?

Well, he's eating my cooking and not complaining.

What could be friendlier than that?

Sarah. Sarah!

Come here, I won't hurt you.

- This is David. - Hello.

And I'm Sarah.

Nice to meet you.

Here.

You speak pretty good chimpanzee.

Well, what shaould we name him?

I don't know.

How about Doc?

Doc? Why Doc?

We have to have someone that can read that medical book.

OK, Doc it is.

Just what I need... a critic.

[ camel neighs ]

Hi. Have a nice day?

What's the matter? Something wrong with your back?

No.

Then what's the matter?

David, tell me.

Do I look any bigger?

Taller, you mean?

Maybe.

No. Not taller. Bigger.

Oh, you mean fat?

No! Forget it.

Sarah, what do you mean?

Sarah, what are you talking about?

I said forget it! It doesn't matter.

Well, I'm not mind reader, you know.

No, just blind.

Sarah, what-- aah.

Do you know what she's talking about?

- Do you know what she's-- - [ screeching ]

I don't know what she's talking about.

Nobody knows what she's talking about.

Women! Aah!

Aah!

Sarah...

did you put that thing on me?

No. Doc did it.

Doc, did you do it?

Now you've had it.

Tattletale.

Thanks, Doc.

[ Sarah laughs ]

Sarah! Come back here.

Sarah, when I get ahold of you...

Come back here.

SARAH: Aah!

- Aah! - Sarah?

You know what I'm going to do

when I get hold of you?

Aah!

If you do that to me again--

Promise?

No.

Promise.

I promise.

I promise!

OK. I promise. I promise!

I'll never lay a finger on your dirty body ever again.

That's better.

I lied! Aah!

Yes, go back to sleep.

Here. Cover yourself with this blanket.

What's the matter?

I have stomach pains.

Maybe it was something you ate.

DAVID: Ha ha ha.

Yeah.

SARAH: Well.

Good luck.

I'll need it.

Ha, ha. David, look at Doc.

DAVID: Hey! Hey, stop that!

Stop-- Sarah, don't look.

Come on. Don't look.

Doc, get outta here.

Go on. Go on. Get outta here.

Get outta here, Doc.

Come on.

Get outta here.

I said get outta here, Doc.

Go on. Go on. Come on.

Get outta here, Doc.

It's not funny.

Yes, it is.

It is not.

I bet you do that.

I do not!

I bet you do. The books says all boys do.

It's a natural thing.

I do not! It's not natural.

People that do that go crazy.

Well then, it's too late.

You're already crazy.

God! He's back!

Hyah.

Sarah, hurry!

Maybe they'll just go on by.

They won't go on by. They'll stop for water.

Yeah, but if we leave now, they'll see us.

We'll hide in the dunes and sneak away tonight.

This is our Paradise.

We can't just leave it.

Wait, David. What about Doc?

Doc?

Ooh, Doc. Where are you?

The camel! Jesus, Sarah, stop it.

Oh, God!

[ neighing ]

It's gone!

It's gone. I couldn't catch the dawn thing.

It ran out into the desert.

David, I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

The only reason we're in this mess

is because you were flirting with that guy in the marketplace!

David, that's not fair.

Fair?

He killed my mother and father, he killed Geoffrey,

and he'll probably kill us.

So don't tell me about fair.

If he just kills me, I'll be lucky.

[ speaking arabic ]

[ speaking arabic ]

[ speaking arabic ]

DAVID: I don't believe this. 2 chimps?

SARAH: Well, we've got a Doc. Why not an Eve?

DAVID: Why not Adam?

Take a look.

It is.

[ speaking arabic ]

I didn't like the view anyway.

I know.

I really didn't mean it.

I know you didn't.

I promise I'll never let anything happen to you.

Son of a bitch.

Oh... sorry.

- You ready? - Mm-hmm.

Here we go!

[ laughing ]

DAVID: Ya-hoo!

[ laughs ]

That was fun.

Ahh.

David, what are you doing?

Stop. I-- I can't.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I'm ready.

You'll never be ready!

It's all because you've been reading that damn book so much.

David?

David!

Wait.

David, will you wait?

Unh.

Unh.

David? Don't!

Give it to me.

What are you doing?

Please.

- Get away from me! - Please don't!

- Leave me alone! - Give it to me.

Come on, David.

You know, you're crazy.

You're really crazy, you know that?

Yes, because I've been doing it by myself too long.

Doc!

Evie, what's wrong?

Doc!

[ horse neighs ]

[ speaking arabic ]

[ neighs ]

[ speaking arabic ]

And have fresh clothes.

Then you'll be fit to come to me.

[ speaking arabic ]

If I don't come back...

[ speaking arabic ]

Stop!

[ yelling in arabic ]

David!

[ screams ]

[ screeches ]

Am I glad you guys never listen to me.

Come on!

I looked up, and this ugly woman came in the tent.

And I thought, "Oh, God, not another one."

And it was you.

You were really fantastic.

Aah!

David, what's wrong?

Scorpion got me on the arm.

Let me see. Oh, my God.

[ shivering ]

If only we had the book.

Oh, I shouldn't have made you angry. I'm sorry.

It wasn't you, it was me.

Shh.

I was crazy. Now I'm going to die.

No, you're not.

Don't talk.

You're going to be all right.

I'll take care of you.

It's all right.

Please don't leave me, David.

Don't go away.

Everyone I ever loved went away.

Please, David.

I love you, David.

Oh, David.

You know, I really thought I'd lost you.

I really thought that I was going to be left all alone.

I'd never leave you alone.

You know, last night,

when you didn't move,

I thought of all the things I wish I had said to you.

And all the things I wished we'd done.

Like what?

It's all right.

You're not scared anymore?

No.

Haul him in, Doc. Haul him in.

I'll get him.

[ screeches ]

Too bad, Doc, he got away.

Must have been a big one.

[ screeches ]

Spoken like a true fisherman.

Hope you like this.

I made it especially for you.

It took me all day long to make.

Looks real good.

It's too spicy?

[ gasping ] No, it's perfect!

It's perfect? Oh, OK. I'll give you seconds.

No, no, no, no, I'm full.

[ blowing into flute ]

Come on in, lazy bones, the water's great.

No. I'll swim with you tomorrow, OK?

Oh, that's what you said yesterday.

And the day before that. And the day before that.

The only exercise you've been getting, lately is this.

Uh... uh... uh... uh.

Come on, David.

I haven't had a bite all morning.

That's 'cause you ate all night.

David, if you want to see fat,

look at Evie.

[ David laughs ]

We better be moving soon.

Yeah.

I know.

Here, Evie.

No, take it in this hand.

[ Sarah laughs ]

No, not your tummy.

Brush your hair.

See how beautiful you are? Yes.

That's a good girl.

David... come here, quick.

What is it?

Come on. Hurry up.

Look. Evie's had her baby.

Come on.

You mean we're going to have one of these?

Uh-huh. Only ours will have a little less hair.

My God.

Here, Doc, take your baby. Take him.

Sarah! Sarah, we've got to get out of here. He's coming!

How did he find us?

How does he ever find us? Let's get out of here!

Doc, Evie, hurry up! Come on!

Sarah, let's go!

[ speaking arabic ]

Wait here!

I will take the girl alone!

David, the camel just can't run anymore.

He's got to, we've got to keep going. Hyah!

DAVID: Come on, move!

Just like he's killed everything else.

What'll we do?

Wait.

Can't we just keep on running?

He's coming.

He'll catch us.

If he's not, we'll move at night when it's a lot cooler.

I love you.

I love you, too.

DAVID: He's coming.

I can't see anything, but I know it's him.

Wait here.

David, maybe he'd let us go.

Keep this.

[ neighs ]

David!

[ screeches ]

David, are you all right?

David?

It's all right. I'm OK.

I'm OK.

[ horse neighs ]

David, be careful.

It's all right, Sarah. He's dead.

There are people down there!

Civilized people.

A hot bath, clean sheets.

Shoes.

And chocolate.

Chocolate... anything.

SARAH: Oh, no!

Oh, David!

What?

It moved.

What are you talking about?

It moved just now. Here.

It hit me!

It's going to be a fighter.

Just like his father.

You're going to need help.

We better get down there.

Yeah, I know.

What about Doc and Evie and the baby?

We've got to decide what to do?

It isn't our decision anymore. Look.

Doc! Eve!

SARAH: Wait, Doc!

We'd better get going.

Yeah, we better.
